Graham Bishop is renowned for his vision and the courage to propose radical ideas, yet ground them in a mastery of the technical details of the financial system. He has been referred to as a one-man think tank and named at 33 amongst the Top 40 British EU policy 'influencers'.

European Commission: His influence at the meeting point of politics, economics and finance has been recognised again: President Barroso has appointed him to be a member of the Commission's Expert Group on debt redemption fund and eurobills.

Graham's many pro bono activities illuminate and reinforce his Consultancy Services. His deep knowledge of Europe’s financial system is integrated with his understanding of EU economic and budgetary policy-making – whilst set within the necessary framework of democratic accountability.

He was a member of the Commission's Consultative Group on the Impact of the Euro on Capital Markets; of the Commission's Strategy Group on Financial Services; and of the Committee of Independent Experts on the preparation of the changeover to the single currency (1994/5).

This Website, as well as Graham's Consultancy Service, is designed to bring clients the direct insights that flow from Graham’s position as a leading technical analyst of economic and structural developments in the financial markets of Europe.

"It is now entirely foreseeable that governments may make potentially far-reaching changes that would impact the valuation of European financial assets, as well as reforming the nature of the regulations governing key parts of the financial sector’s business".

"..So the consequences of this crisis will be historic – and will reverberate around global financial markets. The stakes for participants in European financial markets could not be higher.."

Consultancy services can take many forms: face-to-face meetings, telephone discussions, written comments, speeches, special articles, customised research projects, etc.

Brexit in less than a year and now political turmoil in Italy – while Macron continues to press Merkel to accommodate greater economic integration.

In these times of unprecedented uncertainty over the deepening of EMU, Graham Bishop brings his own unique perspective on where we are now, and how new regulations and risks could affect the financial services industry in the future.

The Graham Bishop team has been documenting and tracking all the key EU regulations - and their impact on the financial services industry - over the past 17 years. This knowledge centre is now approaching 35,000 articles. Members have access to up-to-the minute information and intelligent commentary on the likely impact of these groups.

This is the best way to track the actvities of ECOFIN, ECON, ESMA, EBA and EIOPA as well as monitoring the priamray legialstion and the level 2 implementing measures for BRRD, EMIR, MiFID and the rest of the alphabet soup of activity that can have a direct impact on all financial services companies anywhere in the world.

The essential foundation for good analysis is a thorough review of the facts - ranging from initial thoughts of players in the policy-making process all the way through to the final legislative texts. Our Research Department brings all these facts together in our Knowledge Centre so that clients can make their own analysis. This website is the tool that enables Graham to create his renowned perspective on the bewildering array of apparently disparate developments.

The output of the Research Department - aided and guided by the wisdom of his many friends - is designed to maximise your firm's ability to tap into his overview of progress in fitting together the jigsaw of actions which may lead the euro area towards financial/political union. Depending on the French and German election results in 2017, the combination of Brexit and the Rome Declaration on the EU's 60th anniversary may signpost a further deepening of financial integration - with profound cosequences for the financial system and markets.
